No case. No screen protector. No insurance.

Dropped one phone in the last twelve years.

Basically, I'm getting this phone for the looks of it.

And I want to be reminded every day that the display is currently the best available.

My usage and lifestyle is fine with the battery life and storage on this device.

I would like to say I could pull this off, but I cant. Historically speaking there's been a couple times I left my phone on my lap while driving, then getting out of the car you know what happens. Stuff like that may only happen every 5 months or so, but I want to be covered for my occasional clumsiness. Every phone I have owned (iphones and androids) has had something break in one way or another.

Yes. At least for me, I carry my phone in my pocket. I live in Denver, so no sand from the beaches, and I have had two phones with Gorilla Glass that have gotten the little micro scratches from somewhere. I NEVER put my keys in the same pocket as my phone, and generally take good care of them, but the FACT is, if you want the highest resale value for the phone, protect it. If you don't then don't.

I ended up going with the same case I had for my GNex. It was the combo holster/case from Verizon. I used mine a ton because of the flip out kickstand built into the case. I don't use the holster since it goes into my pocket, but I enjoy the case.
